• Suitable as a replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) motor capacitors with matching specifications

When to Replace

• Motor hums but fails to start
• Motor requires manual assistance to start
• Capacitor case is bulging, cracked, or leaking fluid
• Capacitor tests outside its rated capacitance range when measured with a multimeter

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before installation
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting its terminals with a resistor or an insulated tool
• Confirm that the voltage (VAC) and capacitance (uF/MFD) ratings match the original part's specifications
• Ensure terminals are connected securely
